Would You Feel Bad If You Killed a Slug? I do, I feel awful.

[Aimeey7]

I didn't mean to, even though they disgust me. One was on the back step, I went to bruch it off with my foot, to my surprise, and quite by accident, it fell into a bucket of water beside the step- someone had left the bucket there, I don't know who or why.. I wasn't going to reach in and pick him out though. Guess they don't handle water too well, do they? I can't even bring myself to go look at the results.

Seriously, if you really cared, you would have pulled the slug out of the water and gave it mouth to mouth!

Are you a vegan?

I once accidentally killed a cornish hen that was part of a flock that we were raising to sell and eat. When I would enter the coop, the birds would all rush towards me in anticipation of food and one accidentally got pinched under the door as I was pushing it open. I did feel awful about that as it was a terrible thing to witness. But no, I wouldn't get upset over a slug, in fact, I will gleefully kill any wasp or spider that has the misfortune of entering my house.

I like to pour salt on them.     Better call PETA on me too and contact Cass Sunstein he is gonna wanna prosocute Aimeey for Murder.

Wiener, you beat me to it, I was going to suggest putting salt on it as well. My friends and I used to do that as kids when we weren't busy finding ants to burn with a magnifying glass.

If we'd do that today PETA would probably have us thrown in juvenile detention.

Michael Vick would be proud of all of you.

Studies show that those who kill animals (including slugs and wasps) are much more likely to eventually kill a human being than those who don't.

The same study shows that children who step on cracks in sidewalks are much more likely to commit elder abuse some day than those who don't.

   Oh Robin, I haven't killed anybody, yet. 

[Boo]

I've never poured salt on a slug and I never fried ants, however, I would kill a person that intentionally harmed my little girl!

I don't think I'd feel to bad about a slug, but you did have the opportunity to save him. 

One time I killed three raccoons with a '66 New Yorker...  mommy and two babies crossing the road.  I felt horrible but the alternative was driving over an embankment.  That still bugs me when I think about it...  God's creatures are all here for a reason, be-it a slug or a tree or the person next to you.  Watching our three new cats grow from ugly little urchins to playful furry kittens has been a wonderful experience for me and my family.  Blessings are everywhere!

i tried to show my son what happens when you pour salt on a slug and he flipped out and ran into the house and got a glass of water and rinsed the slug off! the slug actually lived and he kept it as a pet for three days before it died.

ThHe slug survived!!!!
 I finally got nerve to check the bucket, he was nowhere to be seen!
